Got a beauty question? We have an answer.

I caught up with the hair and makeup pros who were busy beautifying guests for the many events, parties and dinners that take place during Golden Globes weekend. Here are the top five tips I personally think are worth adopting:

Tip 1: Use eyeshadow base. Though many of us skip this step, makeup artist April Chaney says it’s essential if you want your eye makeup to last all day. It also helps the shadow you put over it really pop.

Tip 2: Change up your part. Confession: I rarely (OK, never) change up my part. My hair just wants to part where it wants to part and it’s not easy to fight it. But, after chatting with hairstylist Ramiro Rodriguez I am going to start to make an effort to switch it up. He said that if we always wear the same part, our hair actually thins out along that part. Based on my own experience I believe this to be true, though I’ll have to confirm with a doc. Either way, it can’t hurt to make a change every once in a while, right?

Tip 4: Add a bit of movement and soft texture to strands while flat ironing. If you’re not going for a pin-straight style, twist some of the sections of your hair before gliding over them with a flat iron. Rodriguez says this will add a bit of bend to your hair and give you a more lived-in finish.

Tip 5: Top your lip color with clear gloss to keep lips looking fresh all day. Chaney says that when celebrities need to look fabulous for the cameras for hours, her trick is to first apply a lip color of choice and then top it with a glassy, clear gloss like L’Oreal Color Riche Le Gloss in Naturally Nude, $7.95. As the day goes on only reapply the gloss to freshen up your lip color and keep your lips looking moist. It’ll act like a barrier for your color — keeping it intact all day.

But that’s not all …

In celebration of the Golden Globes, I have a red carpet-worthy glam giveaway to award to one lucky reader who comments on this post. We’re giving away …

I used to always change the side I part my hair on just to help give me a new look and feel. I haven’t done it in years, but now I’m thinking it might be a good idea to switch it up once again, especially if it means reducing the chance of thinning hair in . Thanks for the tip!!

The changing up your part is a hard one for me especially since I have curly hair and like you said it just goes where it wants. I’ll have to add that in because it really does change your face. I just started wearing lipsticks and that made a huge difference in itself. I love Loreal their stuff doesn’t make me break out but I’ve always wondered about trying their youth code. Great post!

I always have trouble with making my eyes look more alert. Thank you for the tips on eyes & the hair thing omg I have a fear of thinning hair so I will def try switching it up! Love the blog! I’m a boy when it comes to glam so now maybe I can transition into a girl with your blog! Baby steps!
